Laura Henshaw: Five pro tips for juggling health, work and play

At just 24 years old, Laura Henshaw certainly has her work cut out for her. A fitness model, law student, Instagram star, and entrepreneur — this young Aussie innovator knows better than most just how important a work-life balance is.

Here, the wellness advocate shares her top five tips for juggling business, health, and happiness.

Make me-time a priority

When you’ve got a start-up business, law degree, and social media presence to maintain, enjoying moments of ‘me time’ can be few and far between. Which is why Henshaw makes her morning routine a priority.

“Working out for me is my form of meditation — particularly running, which is so important for my mental and physical health,” says Henshaw. “I love starting my day with a workout, it’s my me-time for the day, and I find I am always so much more energised if I’ve made the time to move my body.”

Learn to embrace your mistakes

“This year has been an absolute whirlwind, but if there’s one thing I’ve taken away, it’s that you need to love your mistakes or failures,” says Henshaw. “It’s not easy at the time, but you learn so much from each hurdle.”

Organisation is more than just a buzzword

“I write everything in my calendar — both in my phone and computer — and my business partner Steph and I have a joint calendar in the office, which is essential,” says Henshaw. “I schedule in time for my workout, for Keep it Cleaner, any personal commitments, and of course my university work.”

“It’s all about prioritising my time — I can’t do it all, but I can use my time wisely. I have learnt to say no to some things, so I have time to say yes to the things that are important to me, such as my health and our business.”

Choose products that make your life easier

“I am all about life hacks, especially in my beauty routine,” shares Henshaw. “One I am loving at the moment is my Schick Intuition f.a.b razor, which safely shaves backwards and forwards without having to lift the razor off your skin.”

Find your non-negotiables

An outspoken fitness and wellness advocate, it’s no surprise that Henshaw has a hard-line when it comes to her health.

“My health is non-negotiable, and the busier I am, the more I prioritise it,” says Henshaw. “I need to have energy, and feel good to get through my day, and so I know the importance of moving my body, eating well, sleeping and looking after my mental health. I don’t eat well or exercise for purely physical reasons, it’s all about wanting to feel good and be the best version of myself possible.”
